My career started in capital markets where I traded for close to 8 years before the risk-seeking part of my personality took over and I went after my first idea in the ed-tech space. It was through this that I learned how to draw and learned the power of communicating well through UX and creating really good requirements with engineers. Goodness, we could have saved a lot of time and money.

When I decided to join Littlelines, I was looking for mentorship and with it got a lot of freedom to grow a business building product for high tech companies on the coast.

A few years into that I started a new venture called OrigamiMade which the Dayton Entrepreneurs Center supported. That’s where I started to understand how complex this was for founders. After Origami was acquired, I joined the EC and started helping other founders navigate.

My backstory is really broad, at times - really difficult and other times surprisingly rewarding. I’m on the lookout for the best critical thinkers who value intelligent inquiry as well as humility while they build what’s next.
